"Our community is full of very active people who walk, run, cycle and exercise," F.I.S.H. Program Director Kathy Y. Monroe said. "However, outside our homes we seem to be more aware of safety precautions than inside our home and surrounding environment. You will leave this workshop knowing how reduce your chance of incidents, as well as how to handle them when they arise."
